priority because home control speed is critical but does not take
priority over audio and video streaming devices.
Finally, computers and laptops should have normal priority because
slight packet latency will not affect overall performance and user
experience. Note- Port 1 is reserved for connecting to the Router.
Example 2 –
Large Scale Network
The layout for a large network is very similar to the small network
example above, however additional ports are required for the
additional client devices on the network. To accommodate all the
client devices, other Pakedge switches are added and stacked into
the SW8-GBP. In the example, note how similar devices that need
to communicate with priority are all plugged into the same Pakedge
switch and then stacked to the SW8-GBP.
For example, all AV streaming media server and
clients are plugged into a common Pakedge switch and then the
switch is stacked into the highest priority port on the SW8-GBP.
The overall network configuration is designed to keep similar traffic
with similar devices within a Pakedge switch. In addition, when
dissimilar devices need to communicate, such as a personal
computer with a media server, the priority of its interaction is
controlled by the SW8-GBP.
